Captain George Buckmaster House (ca. 1748) (Newport, Rhode Island)

USA / Rhode Island / Newport / Newport, Rhode Island / Division Street, 42
 house, place with historical importance, 1740s construction
BUILT: circa 1748
The Captain George Buckmaster House is a four-bay house (also known as a three-quarter house), but not in the traditional sense. Here the doorway is at the end of the front façade, rather than within the façade. Additionally, the chimney is located in a center position, rather than the more common end location when the doorway is located in an end bay. The house was built c.1748 and sits on the original site. It was purchased by the Newport Restoration Foundation (NRF) in 1969 and restored in 1972.
